Go to the folder that the service account belongs to.
In the list of services, select Identity and Access Management.
In the left-hand panel, select Service accounts and select the required service account.
Under Access keys, click in the line with the key to delete, and select Delete.
In the window that opens, click Delete.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

Get a list of static key IDs (ID) for a specific service account. Specify the service account name in the --service-account-name parameter:

yc iam access-key list --service-account-name <service_account_name>

Result:

+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
|          ID          |  SERVICE ACCOUNT ID  |        KEY ID        |
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+
| aje8bdtqec6l******** | ajeedllrkjma******** | R9JK04o1Dfaf******** |
| ajegqpa91bta******** | ajeedllrkjma******** | cWXGkDoBRho5******** |
+----------------------+----------------------+----------------------+

Delete the old static key. Replace <ID> with your API key ID:
```
yc iam access-key delete <ID>
```

To delete a static key, use the delete REST API method for the AccessKey REST API resource or the AccessKeyService/Delete gRPC API call.
